Just a Guy and his Journey Back to God
Are you wanting to move closer to God? Have you had a relationship with Him, but drifted away? Do you struggle to do His will, hear His voice or live according to His will? Well, you're not alone! You and I have the same struggles. Here, I'll share my daily Bible readings, thoughts, struggles AND successes. It's my hope you'll be encouraged and know you aren't alone in your journey. I am just a guy who knows he needs to get closer to the Living God in order to live my best life and fulfill myself. What I'm not is a pastor, theologian or philosopher. I'm not smarter, more holy or enlightened than the next person. I'm just a guy trying to follow God's will.
Just a Guy and his Journey Back to God
2 Corinthians 12 - Grace
“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. ” 2 Corinthians 12:9
As I was thinking about the chapter, I started looking into Grace. I first began by searching for a definition. It turns out that Grace has many meanings and can be explained/defined in many ways. For our discussion today, here are some definitions from the Webster dictionary:
- unmerited divine assistance given to humans for their regeneration or sanctification
- disposition to or an act or instance of kindness, courtesy, or clemency
- a virtue coming from God
- a charming or attractive trait or characteristic

AW Tozer says of the above verse, "God never works out of human strength. The strongest man is the weakest man in the kingdom of God, and the weakest the strongest. The holy apostle said, “When I am weak, then am I strong.” You can turn it around and say, “When I am strong—whenever I feel that I can do it—then am I weak.”"
